Among the tremendous potential benefits of collaboration is SYNERGY. The common definition of synergy is 1 + 1 = 3, which is a mathematical impossibility, yet, a reality that all of us have experienced.
The combination of the parts be greater than their sum. The old saying that “two heads are better than one” makes the point that it’s in the combination where the real treasure lies. This is synergy.
Where have you experienced synergy? Do you realize that one person cannot, by definition, produce synergy on her or his own? Consider this: With that specific amazing partner, that all-in team, that group of athletes in common pursuit: how was the combination greater in effect than the sum of its parts? Is synergy an energy that you actively seek to create, access and grow? Why or why not?
